What are the H&R spring specs? What's the drop? How's the ride quality?

Edit: spring spec is 1.4in drop front (35-40mm) and 1in. (25mm) drop rear for anyone wondering.
Looks like his car has p zeros which have fatter sidewalls. You can run bigger spaces with michelins.

Dumb question: does that mean G80/G87 share the exact same springs? The G80 H&R SS is currently on sale and I am about to pull the trigger.

I thought the front springs were the same but the rears were different.

The front dampers are the same as the G82, the rear dampers are from the G80. The front springs are stiffer than the rear. That's all we really know about springs/dampers.

Rears are from the G81 which are softer than the G80/82 rears.

I would think they're even stiffer due to the higher GVWR?

"The differences largely come down to individual tuning. The M2's front springs are stiffer while the rear ones are softer, which gives the coupe quicker turn-in and a more lively back end. In fact, the M2 borrows its rear dampers from the upcoming M3 Touring, as greater damping forces are required due to the softer springs."

Remember to try keep the front/rear rake roughly the same unless you want to alter the weight distribution

Anyone has any updates on H&R springs for G87?
Saw their Youtube videos the other day, it looks like they released their HAS for G87 already.
Thought the springs would be available earlier than HAS.

Yeah unfortunately not the case. Testing hasn’t been started on the springs just yet. (Spoke with H&R)

Lowered mine today on H&R HAS: -25mm FA/RA + 12 mm spacers on the RA. No way to get spacers in front without rubbing.

Ride comfort is as stock. I am super happy of the setup

1000m's? I was pretty dead set on going with 20/20 TE37s, but every time I see 1000m's I get a little weak.

Car looks great.

Yes, also on the move they look amazing. Somehow the last photos didn’t upload, let’s try again a side view

Some more pictures. Quite in love with the looks (and the drive). From behind it looks brutal, and also the side view is TOP now.

Are you still running these springs? Any other comments on the ride? (really concerned about losing the ride comfort) Looking at the G80 thread I see a lot of negative feedbacks on the H&Rs being bouncy and upsetting the chassis...Also I'm also in Ontario which shop did you have your springs installed? Thanks in advance
